re: instructions

You are right, and I would like to delete the post

but HOW?

Wish I could think of something else to replace it with.

I would not want to leave the post blank by editing it.

Thats one thing I never seen anywhere in the forum

here is a way to delete my own post or replies to posts ;)

Perhaps I am missing something?

Have a great day,

Enjoy!

Please don't forget to give me a big THANKS if reading this was helpful to you!​

Which custom ROM were you using?

Hi

I successfully sbf back to stock froyo and just gingerbreak 1.2 and motodx_bootstrap_signed. and then proceeded to add sdcard from zip in bootstrap mode and got upgraded to gb pre rooted with p3droids zip file. heres where i messed up I went to the themes section in xda droidx2 forums and tried to add fukenblack theme it didnt work so i tried to add the stock framework on the post still just boot loop . now when i try to sbf back to froyo i get an rsdlite "error validating files" and ive redownloaded the just in case . any help would be appreciated otherwise i got to wait till the upgrades offered here and say it happened from that :(

love these communities

[Motorola Droid X2] TheMavic:
First of all, that theme hasn't been ported to GB yet. I made the same mistake, however I was at work and my work computer doesn't allow me to download the tools I needed to SBF etc... I didn't try to revert back to the default with that one download he included, I just started from scratch SBFing back to Froyo and doing it all over again.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
If you get that error use 7zip to unpack the sbf file
[Motorola Droid X2] luster71:
yeah i cant do the sbf to froyo thats when i get error validating files. i just tried to do the update.zip again and p3droids or verizons both give me an error 7 something about dialer.apk. the loop i get is the droid noise and word looping continuously. hope they release the update here soon so i can call and say it screwed up my phone

thanks for the reply though if anyone else has any ideas id love to try them
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
You can't do the update until after you successfully sbf, once you get that working start all over
[Motorola Droid X2] luster71:
the 7zip worked thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Hello,

I present my second Windows Mobile app:

SettingsExporter – I think the name is self-explaining. I tried to develop an easy to use application able to backup the vital system/user/programs settings and parameters to a .reg file, which enables the user to quickly restore the settings after a flash or HR.

Yes, we already have the fantastic fdcTaskManager from dotFred but this one exports either single registry key (with all the values and subkeys) or whole registry. My tool is able to store:

- single registry value

- several registry values in one key

- all the values of a key but without subkeys

- values which names start with a certain string

- values which names end with a certain string

- values containing certain string

- whole key with all subkeys/values

The last point is realized with a help of already mentioned fdcTaskManager under permission from dotFred (thank you Man!).

Program features/requirements:

- supports AppToDate

- requires NetCF 3.5 to be installed in your ROM.

- the app is partially dependent on the TaskManager from DotFred. A file called dotTaskMgr.exe should always be placed in program folder. Of course it is included in the download files.

- the program can run from any folder on both device memory or Storage Card. You don't even have to install it (that's why I included also a zip archive with all the files), you can just run it from the actual location. However the installation cab includes also program shortcuts (they appear in Start Menu) and files neccessary for AppToDate.

- REMARK: Because of .NetCF limitations the program cannot parse some of the value kinds, like REG_MUI or REG_QWORD however these types are used in so deep system settings that I wouldn’t even try to touch, so from this point of view they are not necessary for normal user customization purposes.

REMEMBER: never play with registry unless you know what you are doing. Always make backup of your data before you start to edit any registry values.

I spent many nights on testing this app and on choosing the settings worth exporting so everything should work fine (I made at least 10 flashes in the mean time and didn’t discover anything suspisious). However I cannot be held responsible for any damages to your ROM/device.

Congratulations on your release :) I'll try and report back soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
Looks great.........
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
oh thanks a lot! i like to play a lot with co0kie home tab 2.0 and also with the registry so it will be very useful to save some lines of a reg key. In CHT 2.0 all setting are in hkcu/software/htc/manila/CHT.*** (also CHTE.*** and CHTI.***) and i would like to save registry setting like CHT.Tweaks.***

I will try and report back later. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
It looks ****, but works great :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Budniu:
Jackos, you always know something good to say.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
Good morning Skrobel,

Once again thank you for taking the time to develop this application. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I had technical difficulties.

Following our recent conversation I'm posting below my findings about version 0.1 beta.

Pros:

Easy, intuitive UI

3 customizable registry patterns for different settings

A lot of 3-rd party software patterns

Thought-out set of settings

Cons:

90's looking UI

No support for exporting Twitter and Youtube Account Manager settings

Poorly implemented AppToDate support

Partly Sense and CHT support

No way to backup e-mail accounts and signatures (I know it's difficult to assemble)

No file backup at all

No support for all registry types (not really needed through)

I think you will agree that this app still needs further development. In my opinion Sense SDK is good enough to start with.

Yours truly,

Jackos
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Hello,

Thank you all for your comments. I plan further development, so whatever you will find, I will at least try to solve.

@Jackos

You deserve special thanks. I don't wan't to defend myself but please remember I am still n00b if about programming ;) And I'd like to comment at least some of your cons:

90's looking UI

- I fully agree. This is still on my "to-do" list. Honestly I have already tried to run the Sense SDK from eboelzner (on an early stage of the app) and I just couldn't get the controls to appear on the form. I haven't spent much time on it though as this was not the most important thing to do. And there are only a few controls in this app which are big enough to operate with finger :)

Poorly implemented AppToDate support

- honestly I did it same way as you did for your ROMs :) I know there is a possibility to download up-to-date cab directly from within the program, but I think the vital thing is to inform the user that something has changed. Nevertheless I will try to improve also here.

No way to backup e-mail accounts and signatures (I know it's difficult to assemble)

- yes, you're right. And WiFi settings would also be fantastic to backup. I honestly don't know how to handle it. I did an extensive search among some developers forums and nothing up to now...

No file backup at all

- this honestly was not in my plans. I use SettingsExporter in conjunction with PIMBackup in which I have my configuration (stored by the SettingsExporter by the way), and I backup all my files, contacts, messages and calendar within 2 clicks. I don't think any file backup is necessary...

No support for all registry types (not really needed though)

- I've seen a tool written using NetCF where (according to the description) it is possible. I will ask the developer for help.

The rest of the "cons" concerns the configuration files which are subject to develop continously and independently on the tool itself. I was kinda hoping that this thread will grow with suggestions of other values of which I don't know and/or I don't use. So whatever you feel should be placed here, please post it :) hence help to improve for other users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
There are some encryption algorithms that aren't reverse-able. I have no knowledge with one is used in WinCe so maybe it's not possible at all. You could try to backup settings without including passwords.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
I guess we have to ask ultrashot. He knows nearly everything about nearly anything :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
He's disassembling WM and SE mobile systems since he stopped using chamber pot ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Strange, 35 downloads and nobody reported further problems? I don't believe there aren't any.

I dig up the e-mail and WiFi backup, but no real results yet. On the other hand I know how to handle the Sense SDK controls, so the next release will probably have better look as requested. But I don't want it to be the only update, so report guys, report :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirskym:
Runs fine on my Axim X51V running WM6.5. I've been using an old app until now called SettingSavior. And for specific third party apps, if I was able to find a registry entry where the registration key was stored, I used SKTools to create a reg file for that. then I used Shashimi to import cabs and .reg files.

Will explore your app more.

Some suggested other 3rd party apps for setting backup:

Sprite Backup

Galarm

Resco Explorer

Pocket Music
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
I used similar method to store my settings. I used CeRegEditor to make an "image" of the registry, then I changed my settings (also for third party apps), then I compared the saved image with the current state.

But if you use these programs and you have your setup created with SKTools, could you share it with me? I could check what settings are used for these apps, and update config files with them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wapvirus:
Thanks for creating this useful application ,I use this application, PIMBack-up and XDA_UC_NET - portable to fully automate the restore. Now a Hard reset or ROM update is a breeze.

Regards w@p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
My pleasure :)

BTW that's the same set of programs I use. It works indeed, however I want to be able to backup more Sense/CHT settings but in a way not to mess anything if one tries to restore the files on different version of Sense/CHT.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
That's a dumb idea. If that was your goal, why did you split those registry files into 3 separate files?

Just let ppl create their own files for each Sense/TF3D/CHT version. There is no way of easily accomplishing what you want. Furthermore, how would you like to restore a CHT config on a TF3D rom? Makes no sense for me.

It's much better to backup whole HKLM(HKCU)\Software\HTC\Manila path and let the user know that he shouldn't restore the Manila settings on different Manila branches. If you really want to be so user-friendly try to except registry keys that aren't changeable by UI (IsWM6.5; CHT.version, Sense.build etc).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
OK, you're right, perhaps i misexpressed myself. I meant that I only want to restore customisation of Sense 2.5 with CHT if applicable. I'm now testing what happens if you restore config from CHT 2.0.0 on an older version.

I already know that values from CHT 1.7.1 (starting with Co0kie.*)

probably

will not cause failure to CHT 2.0.0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
Nah, they won't corrupt anything. Just obscure registry keys. I still have no clue why you want to allow restoring between different branches.

Let the program only restore settings on devices running this same UI and yuo'll be just fine. Relax and don't be such a perfectionist. Pareto principle, remember?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Damn right ;)

if only more people would share some other reg values that would help to customise the Windows...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
I sent you months ago kinda anything I do export using "old" methods.

Only things that are missing: Twitter and YouTube account settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
True, I tested them all, and included most of them to the .ini files. Thanks by the way... ;)

Only the ones with which I had problems are not included. I don't remember exactly what problems I had, but overall I have problems with storing data for programs that need loging in. I tried to store Facebook account together with Facebook tab settings, but after restoring the user is theoretically logged in to Facebook but the tab doesn't recognize it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
I'm pretty sure it's possible. However there might be somewhere unique keys that are used to decrypt passwords, so maybe you should caught them first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wapvirus:
I would love to be able to back up mail wifi .ect.. but I think these settings need to be implemented in different ways ,Thanks again for this application and please keep playing around and further developing this handy little tool :cool:

Regards w@p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
Jepp, however I saw in another thread that Skrobel is working on a solution. Maybe someday...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirskym:
OK, the Registration code for Galarm is stored in HKCU/Software/ageye/G-Alarm/RegKey The rest of the setting are stored in an .ini file that you can export (ie. not in the registry).

Sprite Backup registration info is stored at HKLM/Software/Sprite Software/Sprite Backup/csUserName and /dwLicenseCode

Haven't been able to figure out the others.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Teaser

Hello guys,

Here's a teaser of the new GUI.

I had much problems with implementing Sense SDK into my application and I still have some (strange exceptions I can't seem to handle). There is no further support in the SDK thread so I had to use the goodol' trial & error method. But most of the problems seem to be solved. Here is how the new exporter can look like.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
Any ETA for the new release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
The new version with Sense UI is ready.

But - as I stated before - I don't want the visuals to be the only upgrade. So I'm digging for some new possibilities.

Unfortunately to make sensible Sense backup (especially CHT) is not very likely. Each version of CHT has other keys to backup (the older ones have "Co0kie...." values and 2.0.0 uses values starting with "CHT"). Also in HKLM there are some different possibilities. So I concentrated on the CHT 2.0.0 and this is now working. But for this purpose I think another configuration file is necessary....

I also thought about what you wrote (the pros and cons). I already use DotFred's task manager to export some of the registry, and I could use his PIMBackup as well from a command line to make it easier to backup.

Than I think it would be a good idea to let the user configure different folders for each destination file (in case someone would like to use UC_NET grouping feature).

I have some general thoughts but I don't know how to make it exactly to be the most usable.

In the mean time I hav generated the keys necessary to backup all the settings made in Advanced Config and Rhodium Settings Tool. But... I'm not sure if these settins should all be backed up.

The reason is that there are plenty of settings deeply connected with the system (caches, touchscreen preferences, some settings which have something to do with cellular lines I don't even understand).

Sometimes we want to make a HR because we messed something up and want to get the ROM working as before. And if we backup all the vital parts of the registry (not only the ones connected straightly with user customisation) it is likely that the messed part will be restored after a HR and we won't get rid of the error.

Example? Here you go:

I accidentally made a backup of all the settings (together with the ones from Advanced Config) when Total Commander was on. Total commander moves the SIP icon from the middle of the bottom bar to the bottom right corner. And after I flashed the ROM and restored the settings I had the SIP icon on the right all the time (I couldn't press the OK button).

I don't think there's any way to avoid stuff like that.

BTW: Have you perhaps figured out what should be put in the keys_...ini to fully backup YouTube and Twitter login data? I don't use these tools (don't even have a Twitter account)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z80-Man:
First of all, thank you for this useful tool. :)

I use to hand backup a lot of registry keys, then I include a lot of them in CABs, either generic ones (to keep a set of useful tweaks) or personal ones (personal information and accounts data backup). They can be put into an XDA_UC folder, too.

OK, but I still prefer a working app than a cosmetic one. :)

After what, if it's clean and and neat (e.g. VGA res buttons in (W)VGA mode (not like ROMExtractor, for instance ;)), no text cut off the border, screen correctly placed under WM 6.5.x (not like QuickMark, for instance), etc.), then you can consider it's all good. ;)

If course, if you can then add a Sense-like UI, than it would be perfect, but not absolutely necessary to allow us to appreciate. ;)

Won't [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager] contents be enough ?

Along with \Temp\TwitEng\ contents, it allows to get back your account Twitter account, for instance, or at least, it allows you to re-create it after the recent secrity policies changes.

Yeah, these ones, too. ^^

But, well, there are other ways, such as using a Wi-Fi profiles utility for regular use, as they generally include a backup feature.

I'll try to find where the original settings are stored anyway. :)

You're right, I'd don't think it's absolutely necessary, unless you're planning on making a general full backup tool.

Some useful folders to be saved, in case you're thinking about it :

- \Temp\TwitEng\ I cited above

- \My Documents\Reader containing the ebooks database (it can't be put anywhere else unless you're able to change the .exe program. ^^)

As Jackos stated, nobody owning a brain would try to restore Sense/CHT settings to another version...

BTW, CHT Editor already does this perfectly anyway (not cross-versions either, of course). ^^

Actually, most people will stick to a specific CHT version once they have tried it long enough, adopted it and decided to spend some time customizing the screens. :)

LMAO :D

I don't have a Facebook account because I refuse to put any personal information on a website owned by a crook specifying that they belong to him in the user agreement, and selling them to anybody...

But I do have a Twitter account (I only subscribed to XDA and ROM authors theads, BTW :D)

As I said before, most of the important information is stored there :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager]
"FacebookAccount"
"FacebookSavePassword"=dword:
"FacebookSecret"
"FacebookSession"
"FacebookToken"
"FacebookUserID"
"FacebookUserName"
"TwitterAccount"
"TwitterPassword"
"TwitterToken"
"TwitterTokenSecret"
"TwitterUsername"
"YoutubeAutoLogin"=dword:
"YoutubePassword"
"YoutubeSavePassword"=dword:
"YoutubeToken"
"YoutubeUserID"
"YoutubeUserName"

But external files may exist too (as for Twitter).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skrobel:
Hello Z80-Man,

Sorry for not responding. I was a bit cut-off from media :)

Thanks for kind words and suggestions. I will try to test proposed keys. As for Twitter: has storing of the "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager]" worked for your Twitter account? Have you been able to post tweets directly after a HR and restoring the .reg file generated by the exporter?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
Hi everyone I'm just wondering if there are some of you who are still happy with your hd7 and wp7 in general. I had an hd7 before the nodo update and ended up trading for a mt4g. For the short time I loved the phone but it was lacking some features I was used to. Ive been using android since the g1 and pretty much have had all android phones on T-Mobile. I guess I'm getting a little bored with android and I'm thinking about going back to wp7. Should I go ahead and pick up an hd7 or should I wait until mango is out?

Also did nodo really make that much of a difference?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creamy:
Hi dnguyen1988,

I have a HD7 and am very happy with it, the performance of the handset and the O/S are slick as hell and the Mango Beta i have on it is a massive improvement to the already worthy (in my opinion) daily driver.

However i can tell you that as soon as Nokia release their WP7 (Sea Ray?) handset i will be selling the HD7 and grabbing one of those with both hands. Carl zeiss optics and decent speakers/volume are what they are going to bring to the table, maybe more but just the better camera and speakers will be enough for me.

So in short my opinion would be to wait and see what they release withy official Mango.

Hope this helps,

Creamy
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
Thanks I think that's what I'm going to do I've always heard good things about Nokia hardware so hopefully the searay will be awesome. Do u know what kind of display it'll use?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesDax:
With the latest firmware/radio update from HTC combined with Mango 7712 this thing is like a new Phone. I'm quite happy with it and look forward to the official Mango update.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ttblondey:
I'm happy with mine except my phone is too sensitive if i touch at the back cover especially at the bottom part it always vibrate and goes to Bing.Sent for repair and was told that the mobo have a problem so they change it to new one.But it still happens once in awhile.I think it's not the mobo it's a bug from the wp7.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
I still love my HD7. It has only gotten better over time. With Mango 7712, it's almost perfect.

USB Storage and tethering were my two biggest gripes. USB Storage was fixed using USB Storage Enabler (not full-fledged USB Storage mode but good enough for transporting files). Tethering was there with DFRouter until Mango disabled it. Sucks but not a deal breaker for me.

I liked Android too but will never go back after using my HD7 for 8 months or so. WP7 has everything Android does, it just does it better.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] light-blue:
i have an HD7, however i've not upgraded to mange beta yet, which brings a lot things to WP.

i think without mango, android is far far better than WP7,

all you got with WP7 is a nice user interface, which android has a theme exactly like that and you could simulate WP7 even with android.

;)
